Which of the following medications is a neuromuscular blocker?

  1. Botulinum toxin A
  2. Oxcabazepine
  3. Chlordiazepoxide
  4. Finasteride
Explanation
Answer: A - Botulinum toxin A (Botox) is the only neuromuscular blocker and is non-depolarizing. Oxcabazepine (Oxetal) is a mood stabilizer and anti-convulsant and blocks voltage-sensitive sodium channels. Chlordiazepoxide (Librium) is a benzodiazepine anxiolytic that binds to GABA receptors, potentiating its effects. Finasteride (Proscar, Propecia, Fincar, Finpecia, Finax, Finast, Finara, Finalo, Prosteride, Gefina, Appecia) is an androgen inhibitor used in BPH and male-pattern baldness.
